Description

Stunning 4 bedroom / 3 bath home with pool and 60' covered porch perched on a hilltop overlooking Buck Island. You are greeted when you come up the driveway by beautiful pillars with Caribbean sun adorned tiles. Drive up the hill through the automatic gate to this verdant oasis. Three bedrooms and two baths in the main house and a one bedroom, one bath cottage with its own patio just off the garden. This house is the ultimate in Caribbean living. If you are able tear yourself away from the gorgeous vistas, the moment you walk into the living space you are greeted by a gorgeous stone wall and a kitchen built for entertaining with sumptuously crafted island mahogany cabinets. The doors and windows are also mahogany.

Supplements: An 11 foot island of mahogany cabinetry is anchored on one end with poured concrete. The granite countertop with pop up electrical outlets for all your devices is an entertainer or chefs dream. This island is guaranteed to be the hub of the living space. The open floor plan living space goes from kitchen, to dining room to living room to the patio; where you feel as though you are steps away from Buck Island. There are three bedrooms in the home, one currently being purposed as an office, all of which open onto the spacious patio through custom curved arch doors. Each bedroom has its own walk in closet and mini split AC. The bathroom at the top of the hall has a skylight. The primary bedroom has a sitting room, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom featuring a skylight, jacuzzi tub, and double sinks There are so many places to enjoy the breezes in this stargazers paradise: on the porch, by the pool, at the fire pit, on the patio of the guest cottage, on the swing under the tamarind tree. The open floor plan living space features automatic windows that enhance the breezes. The home was built in 1961 and was renovated in 1990, 2007 and 2018. The 2018 renewal included new windows, kitchen, bathrooms, roof, solar panels and heater, automatic gate, and generator. The house was painted in 2020 and the porch was painted in December 2021. Attention has been paid to all the details: Arched custom mahogany doors with louvers at the bottoms were added to the home to capitalize on cross breeze. The original doors were then used to create the beds in the guest bedroom and cottage. The Patio is designed to be used in the event of a hurricane for two vehicles drive-in and shuttered see photos. The pool has a remote controlled cover that closes and opens to reduce maintenance during time away. Solar powered with net metering that was renewed in 2018. There is a minimal annual WAPA bill. There is also a solar hot water heater. The closet in the Primary Bedroom has a steel door. Automatic motorized gate and security lighting allows the ultimate privacy. Outdoor shower. UV water filtration system. Storage room that houses all slide in hurricane shutters and gardening tools and supplies. The home is a gardeners dream nestled in neem, mahogany, seagrape, flamboyant and tamarind trees and accented with Ginger Thomas hedges, orchids, agave, lemongrass, lime, bromeliads and aloe plants. Drip irrigation systems use excess rain and grey water to water all the plants. Lovingly cared for by a gardener, the home is in the process of getting an additional garden with soaker hose irrigation which will have 2 beds planned for tomatoes and herbs. The new owner can terrace the hillside that looks at Buck Island. A neem tree felled in Hurricane Maria has become a gorgeous cactus garden. There is ample space in the back of the house to place a water buffalo to house extra rain water for irrigation.
